Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
relative density
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
The substance mainly consists of phenol and bisphenol-A. It does not have a well-defined density. The test is therefore technically not feasible. The densities of phenol and bisphenol-A are provided instead.

Type:
relative density
Density:
1.17 g/cm³
Temp.:
25 °C
Conclusions:
The substance mainly consists of phenol and bisphenol-A. It does not have a well-defined density. The test is therefore technically not feasible. The densities of phenol and bisphenol-A are provided instead. The substance is inhomogenous at ambient temperature. At about 90°C the substance becomes homogenous, but density cannot be measured at this temperature.
The density of phenol is 1.13 g/cm³ at 25°C.
The density of Bisphenol A is 1.2 g/cm³ at 25°C.
Assuming a concentration dependent density function (40% phenol and 60% BPA), the density of this substance can be estimated as 1.17 g/cm³ at 25°C.

Description of key information

The substance is inhomogenous and semi-solid at room temperature. It does not have a well defined density at 25°C. Measurement of density at 90°C is technically not feasible.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Relative density at 20C:
1.17

Additional information

The substance mainly consists of phenol and bisphenol-A. It does not have a well-defined density. The test is therefore technically not feasible. The densities of phenol and bisphenol-A are provided instead. The substance is inhomogenous at ambient temperature. At about 90°C the substance becomes homogenous, but density cannot be measured at this temperature.

The density of phenol is 1.13 g/cm³ at 25°C.

The density of Bisphenol A is 1.2 g/cm³ at 25°C.

Assuming a concentration dependent density function (40% phenol and 60% BPA), the density of this substance can be estimated as 1.17 g/cm³ at 25°C.
